hey migweldeddatsun, where are you located?

Quote:Where do you see this mist? Above the carburetor when the air filter is off? Or out the tailpipe?

When you give it some gas, it's supposed to spray fuel into the carb, just below the choke butterfly. If it is spraying up from the carb (mist appears above the carb), I would guess that the carb is not put together correctly.
